GW2. Raid Build. Power Soulbeast. DPS Ranger PvE.
Last Update: September 2023
Overview
The Power Soulbeast is a DPS ranger build with the highest burst damage due to stacking damage modifiers. You can play it with a longbow for ranged potential or with a hammer for more DPS.
Playstyle
Role: DPS 
Stay merged to gain the heavy damage modifiers from Beast Mastery and “Sic ‘Em!” Try to fit all of your heavy burst from Whirlwind Axe, Worldly Impact, and Frost Trap within the duration of your “Sic Em!” You also gain damage modifiers from the Twice as Vicious trait whenever using a disable, so fitting a CC like Axe 4, Hammer 3, Longbow 4, or merged Gazelle F2 before using your burst will increase the damage.
Hammer Rotation:
- Frost Trap
- One Wolf Pack + “Sic ‘Em!”
- Axe 4 > 5
- Sword 3 > 2 > F3
- Swap Weapon
- Hammer 2 > 4 > 5 > 3 > 2
- Auto attack with Sword/Hammer if “Sic ‘Em!” is almost off cooldown to stack all of your skills in the buff timer
Longbow Rotation:
- Longbow 5
- Frost Trap
- One Wolf Pack + “Sic ‘Em!”
- Longbow 2 > Swap
- Axe 4 > Sword 3 > 2 > Axe 5 > F3
- Sword 3/2 > F2 > Swap
- Longbow 2
- Wait until Frost Trap and “Sic Em!” are almost ready, then begin at start
